We went camping this weekend in Sequioa National Park with some friends of ours. It was great to get out of L.A. and really appreciate how beautiful California is once you get out of the city. Here are some pictures:
The view from on top of Moro Rock. (Mom, you would have hated it. It was really, really, reaaaaaally high.)
Here are Hawk, Michael and Dan at our campsite, proving that we can make fire. In fact, the fire became Michael’s personal project, and he tended it with lots of love. And beer fueled intensity.

Beautiful forest
Hawk and Aaron (later to be dubbed Soggy-Bottom Trunk Monkey. Long story.)
A waterfall that emptied into a great swimming hole where Michael and Aaron went swimming. Michael said the water was the coldest he had ever felt.
Me and my wonderful hubby
This was a nice little bird who landed right next to my foot while I was sitting at the edge of the Kings River. I think he liked having his picture taken.
Me at a beautiful waterfall
This is the General Sherman tree. It is the largest living thing on earth. It’s over 2000 years old, almost 40 feet in diameter, and over 300 feet high. Some of its branches were larger than most of the trees around us.
These are the roots of a fallen sequoia tree near the General Sherman tree. I just thought they looked cool.
